Echuca College is a secondary school with an enrolment of approximately 600 students. It is located on the border with NSW on the Murray River, combining the urban sophistication of a small city with the charm of Red Gum forests, rural industry, and a thriving tourist precinct. The school vision, Echuca College is a connected learning community that grows through resilience, acceptance and opportunity ensures we maximise all opportunities for our learners. The Echuca College community is guided by the values of Respect, Resilience and Inclusion. At Echuca College we have high expectations for every class, every day for everyone. While most students come from the immediate rural cities of Echuca-Moama, approximately 30% travel along more than twenty bus routes, some travelling an hour each way to access the education provided. Students attending the College are drawn from ten urban and rural feeder primary schools from both Victoria and New South Wales.

At Echuca College we get to know our students as individuals and learning is personalised. We can focus on the development of resilient and respectful learners, destined for success in a constantly evolving world. Echuca College is focused on preparing our students for the future and all students have a home group leader that assists them with developing their 'About Me' profile. This profile details learning strengths and challenges which enables us to better support the student.

The innovative learning environment at Echuca College is underpinned by high expectations and the use of School Wide Positive Behaviour supports.



Our college is structured in year levels across three communities the Campaspe Kookaburras, the Goulburn Kangaroos, and the Murray Turtles. The framework for our positive environment is strengthened by year level leaders who work in these communities and are supported by a team of experienced teachers and student leaders. As a result, a positive and responsible approach to education fosters exemplary values of inclusion, resilience and respect for self and others.
